Steelers Quarterback Suspended

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be off the hook legally, but professionally he’s still in trouble: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Roethlisberger for four to six games for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy, says ESPN. Roethlisberger was accused last month of sexual assault in Georgia, and Goodell has decided to punish him even though the woman has decided to drop charges. Steelers officials originally feared an eight-game ban.
